Case File 044: 28 Days Later - Rogues Gallery | Lyssna här

“The Infected” from Danny Boyle’s post-apocalyptic horror film 28 Days Later aren’t technically zombies, but the movie is definitely operating within the confines of that sub-genre. In fact, its popularity helped lead to such a strong resurgence of interest in zombie-related media that we’re still seeing the effects of it two decades later.

Topics include: tracing the film’s origins back to a screenwriter that was playing too many video games, remembering a point in time where zombies weren’t as prevalent in pop culture, the pros and cons of the decision to shoot this on a prosumer mini-DV camera, the fiilm’s “show don’t tell” approach to character development, the somewhat divisive third act, alternate endings, its impact and influence, and much more!
